have urged that all boards get bury
and examine their men with the least !
possible delay and have requested
the government to give us as much I
notice as possible. We want to avoid j
any rush at the close," said he.
To Clean Up
The District Appeal Board met I
this morning in what will be a
clean-up session. The session will
continue during the entire week and I
during that time every exemption I
claim in the second Middle Judicial
District will be acted on. There are
several hundred agrcultural and
industrial claims besides a large}
number of appeals from the decisions
of the local boards. A hard week's
work has been cut out for the ap
peal board and the fate of all the!
young men of Dauphin County who
have made claims to this board will
be learned before Wednesday. This
afternoon the board will act on the j
claims of the men from District No. i
3, Dauphin county, and to-morrow
morning will examine the claims ofi
Districts Nos. 1 and 2 of Dauphin
county.
The board will endeavor to guar
antee full quotas to all the local
boards in order that the work of the
I'm draft may be cleaned up. llow- ,
ever it is possible that many of the
boards including some in Dauphin I
county, may have to call many more!
men in ordrt- to fill its required 1
quota. The situation in Dauphin
county is peculiar. Not one of the
three boards knows if its full quota!
]as been secured. So far each
board has examined a large number
i f men but have yet to secure the
required number. The majority of
i'le men who passed physical exam- ,
inction tiled exemption claims un-3
these are now before the District
Board.
Clears Atmosphere
The report received to-day that
the colored men of Pennsylvania
will leave for Camps Meade, Lee
and Sherman, October 27th, has!
cleared up a muddled situation at
the Steelton Exemption Board. Since ;
examination at this board started a
large number of negroes have passed '
the physical tests and did not file l
claims. They were ordered to be!
ready for service over a month ago
in anticipation of sending them
away within a short time. Since
that time however, two contingents
were sent to Camp Meade, none con- •
taining colored men. As a result the 1
Steelton board was left with noth
ing but colored men on its bands.
May Go October in
The Paxtang and Elizubethville
boards are waiting for reports from
the District Board. Neither of these
boards is sure of its quota and it is
possible that both will have to ex
amine more men. So far the Pax'- ;
tang Board has examined 1167 of
the 2499 men registered. Of *his
number it has already sent 110 men!
to Camp Meade. The quota from
this district is 199. This board has
a large number of claims before the
District Board, but it is doubtful if
89 more men can be secured. The
Paxtang board will meet this week
to act on exemption claims and -ign
discharge slips.
The District Board completed the
examination of the claims of the
men of Adams county this morning.
It has been reported not officially."|
that the next quota of white men
will leave for Camp Meade on or
near October 19.

MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURC TELEGRAPH " OCTOBER 15, 1917.
War Track Which Attracted Mach Attention
Thousands in this city viewed the big motortruck which was con-
I structed for the United States government after fifty leading engineers
had submitted plans. The big truck arrived In Harrisburg Saturday
forenoon in charge of W. T. Norton. Jr., chief engineer of the Selden
Motor Vehicle Company, of Rochester, N. Y.
Sergeant Thomas P. Moran was in charge of a parade given in
honor of the big machine.. The procession was headed by the Common
wealth band, and moved from Market Square at 2 o'clock. Thq party
left here late in the afternoon for Gettysburg. enroute to Washington,
where a big demonstration is planned for the truck's reception.
Why Money is Needed For War. Tots' Lessons
Pupils in the Harrisburg schools
v.ho are studying the war and Its
many lessons will to-morrow discuss
the problem, "Why Money Is Needed
For War," and in this lesson they
will get an idea why so much money
is needed for Liberty Loan bonds. The
lesson is as follows:
The United States is one of the
richest nations of history. Its re
sources are surprisingly great. It
has more money per capita than any
other nation has ever had. Its treas
ury contains more money than that
of any other nation.
The question is asked, If this is so,
why must the United States appeal to
its citizens to buy Liberty bonds?
Why must the people furnish the
money to the Government —why does
not the Government take the money
from the treasury?
The people of the United States are
the Government.* .
The Government is the people, *#lio
hire persons to conduct it for them.
When the Government appeals to
the people to buy Liberty bonds it
merely says to them: "Please advance
our business a little more money. We
have many expenses just now. Loan
us "our" money so that we can better
prepare for our part in this war."
So that in buying Liberty bonds all

I ernment of the United States.
1 This war will cost tremendously.
Nothing like the preparations the
United States is making has ever been
11 ade by any other nation. In the six
; months that have elapsed since war
became a fact, this country has obli
! gated itself to spend $15,000,000,000 to
S-0,000,000,000. It has determined that
; if it is going into the war it is going
in right, and it will leave no steps
j unturned to win.
i Think of the expense of outfitting
! the soldiers. Before one of the Amer
| ican soldiers begins training, even,
i tlie Government spends $101.50 in
equipping him, in clothing, rilles, etc.
! If this country throws two million
men onto the tiring line, think of the
: enormous cost of preparation.
The war will be over sooner, and
victory will come to the United States
and its allies more speedily if this
country proceeds in the war on the
gigantic scale it has started. Ger
many and Austria-Hungary will be
overwhelmed sooner Ff the United
States is able to do what it has
planned. And it can do what it is
planned only if the people of the
United States —the Government itself
—advance themselves this money with
which to win.

BALDWIN BREAKS
ENGINE RECORD
Complete One Hundred and
Fifty Engines in Seventy
five Days
Philadelphia, Oct. 15. With char
acteristic American speed and en
ergy, the Baldwin Locomotive Works
bus just completed a feat in the His
tory ot war preparation and indus
trial effort, in seventy-five days, clos
ing on the lirst of this month, tnis
organization completed lot) standard
gauge freight locomotives for tne
American Army in Fiance.
Never before lias such speed been
attained in the making oi locomo
tives, and this is all the more com
mendable, experts say, because the
completed locomotives, were started
on their way to France within a
month of the starting of the con
tract, on July 20. and are even now
tarrying supplies to the headquarters
of the American forces up near the
battle lines.
As fast as they were completed the
locomotives were placed aboard ship
for their journey abroad. The lirst
order was placed July 17 and all rec
ords for rapid single production were
broken when the lirst was delivered
complete in twenty days.
UiiKliieH Score lilt
These locomotives have made an
excellent impression abroad, for they
are big machines, paintrd battleship
gray. liach has on the side the in
itials "U. >3. A.," with tile number
upon the stack.
In addition to the locomotives,
especially-designed freight cars for
use in the European war zone have
been supplied. The cars are of the
open type, with an inside length of
thirty-six feet and are to be fitted
with removable tarpaulin covers, so
that the contents may be protected
from the elements, and they can be
speedily and easily loaded and un
loaded.
The schedule of the work upon
these locomotives is remarkable. It
follows;
Schedule of Work
Drawings completed and orders is
sued July 20; boiler material receiv
ed July 24; boiler completed August
t; frame castings received July 27;
frame castings llnished July 31; cyl
inder castings received July 28; cyl
inders finished August 1; wheel cast
ings received August 1; wheels fin
ished August 3; erection of locomo
tive started August 2; boiler in place
August 6; engine tried under steam
August 9; engine photographed Au
gust 10; engine loaded on steamer at
an Atlantic port, August 20.
The locomotives just completed are
of the consolidation type, having four
pairs of driving wheels and a two
wheeled leading truck. The design
follows the American type except as
to couplings and buffers, which are
made to suit French standards, so
that there Is complete interchange
ability.
Wnsh Mud From Hulls
The new Baldwin products are suit
able for making long runs and hand
ling heavy supply and troop trains.
They are designed to traverse curves
of 350-foot radius and to operate on
rough tracks. As the rails are often
covered with greasy mud, a piping
system is applied to each end of the
locomotive, for washing the rails with
hot water and steam.
The Government has also ordered
additional locomotives of similar con
struction. In addition an order for
light tank locomotives with a track
gauge of one foot eleven and iive
eights inches has been placed. Bald
win's are also working upon gaso
line locomotives, which are self-eon
tained and consume no fuel while
standing idle.

Congregations
Patriotisnl echoed and re-echoed
in the ears of almost every church
attendant in the city of Harrisburg

their sermons without drifting on to
the war and fulminating at the 10,-
000 or more atrocities committed by
the inhuman forces of German mili
tarism. Last night this day of pa- j

I climax at ilie Market Square Pres- >

; Churches, where the day was given
over entirely to services of a pa
triotic nature.
Last night the expectant crowd was !
not able to gain admittance at Mar
ket Square. Not even standing room I
was available. A session of prayer
for the nation marked the impres-1
sive service. National anthems of |
the allied nations were played in the
musical prelude which preceded the
regular service. A spirit of unpre-
I cedented patriotism passed through
the audience which broke into up
| plause after Attorney Jesse E. B.
i Cunningham delivered a stirring ad-
I dress.
The organist, Mrs. John R. Henry,
i played "The Battle Cry of Freedom"
; as Russell Alger Bailey, son of Mr.

Attaches of the State Department
pi Internal Affairs who had been
connected with that branch of the
Government while the late Dr. Henry
liouck was Secretary to-day asked
that a tree be named and planted for
the lute Secretary when the formal
slart of the beautification of Capitol
Park is made on Autumnal Arbor
Day, October 26. On that day It Is
proposed by Governor Brumbaugh to
have a tree named and planted for
each of the Governors of Pennsyl
vania, the Gsvernor planting that for
William Penn and the idea has found
popular favor all over the state. This
ceremony will not only give Arbor
day more importance but be occa
sion for joint inauguration of tho
scheme to make the State Capitol
the center of Harrisburg's park sys
tem, within and without the city.
Warren H. Manning, the landscape
architect who planned Harrisburg's
park system, will be here Wednesday
to go over the present park with Su
perintendent George A. Shreiner.
who is working out the details, and
will designate the old trees to be
removed and mark the places for the
new trees. Mr. Manning will also
select the trees to be planted, bearing
in mind Governor Brumbaugh's sug
gestion that Pennsylvania trees
should be chosen. Inspection of the
trees in the park has shown that a
number of tnem are not only con
siderably damaged by storms, but
that they are in that stage which
may make them breeding places for
bugs and pests. The monarehs of
the park, however, will be retained.
The trees to be named for the Gov
ernors will be in front of the Capi
tol where many of them took the
oath of office.
